in afghanistan then he turned to drones and his major advisor on that was a man by the name of john brennan. and he had others advisors and in the same way you have to also understand it seems to me that the two things here one there is counterinsurgency and that assumes that you have a government that's worth defending and that you are eliminating illegitimate insurgency and the other is a problem of terrorism of the two separate problems. and in this case president obama stepped up the counterinsurgency and when that failed he turned to drone. well i mean he campaigned for the due for due process and the rule of law i mean we're talking about a constitutional lawyer here what happened between that rhetoric and the current. reality in which we let. the rhetoric of fundamental change in the process i mean i mean let's restore the rule of law well right. that came into play and the question of whether or not you could take out an american citizen in a foreign country with a drone the most famous example that of course was the attack that killed the the preacher of the muslim preacher the ins

which relate to what is the proper authority for someone to be assassinated and this is where john brennan came in during his time of the white house they were actually managing a century assassination was from the white house which has really been something i think they've been trying to step away from but it's not not entirely eliminated on . right and left let's just say that the program dies transition over you know let's fast forward two years when the cia are completely relinquish its role or should we expect that the agency would still contribute to the targeted killings theoretical my understanding is yeah i would go back to one of the originally had which was centrally espionage and reconnaissance non-lethal methodology. is in the you know are for better or for the fence job is to to kill people and break things that's part of what their job is i think they are better at it they have a better oversight system work in fact in getting overseeing it and cia frankly have not have the proper oversight necessary to actually execute the problem of the program and i think that's where we

the opposition party of former kikt star imran khan wants to prosecute john brennan over a november 21st drone strike. in the process, khan's party is claiming it revealed the identity of the agency's station chief. >> it could not only put them physically at risk, meaning harm to them, threatened to kill or even be killed, but it also obviously can disrupt incredibly activities that the cia and united states government is engaged in. >> reporter: the same political party is also threatening to block trucks carrying nato troop supplies to and from afghanistan, which has been the focus of recent demonstrations. if pressure continues to grow in pakistan and afghanistan to either diminish or completely end the drone complain, analysts say this could create an opportunity for the taliban and al qaeda to regroup as u.s. forces are scheduled to withdraw from the region next year. >> catherine, you mentioned afghanistan. what is the fallout from the drone strike that apparently killed two women and a 2-year-old child? >> well, doug, the international coalition known as isaf acknowledging the in

course, from the last time drones were in the news nine months ago when incoming cia director john brennanagency didn't need to be in the drone business. >> the missions of the agency is to collect intelligence, and the cia should not be doing traditional military activities and operations. >> joining us from washington is senior fellow at the center for american progress, ken, thanks for being here. let's start with this international context. that's are fairly large demonstrations, to put it in obvious comparison if they were happening in any american city weigh would be covering them all day, very large, blocking the nato supply routes. a big deal and it relates to this reporting we're seeing that the program is continuing and not really moving out into the open as it was supposed to. >> yes, and i think it's important to realize that brennan is exactly right when he says it's important for the cia to get out of the drone business. the cia should be our primary intelligence collection agency. it should not be a paramilitary organization. the activities of the drone should be run out of

and there's been, you know, i think if you look back at john brennan's hearings, the current cia director, his confirmation hearings, i think, were very instructive about looking at some of that, how do you draw the lines about who's doing what, and i think they still have to work that out. >> so one more question on the overview. could you just give us a typical profile of who these special ops are? >> yes. as a -- right. on the individual level. and they used to average about 30 years of age, but that age, yes -- and this is especially in the army special forces, because you get these senior sergeants that comprise ten of the twelve-man teams. and this is one reason why there is friction always with the big army or the conventional army, because they look at this special forces sucking away so many of their senior sergeants and many of their talented senior sergeants. and they say your gain is my loss. so i think it's quite understandable that there's some inherent friction there. but because of the growth -- now, i told you about the expansion to 33,000 overall -- the growth has meant

i will go back to the john brennan speech from last year.ne of the other things he did apart from making a controversial statement about presidents was he pointed out the war on terror is a very real thing and that there are nonstate actors and islamic jihadist in the world that for a much want to attack the united states. the evolution towards using drones by the u.s. military was warranted in that way. that was part of his argument. find the speech. it was last year at the woodrow wilson center in washington. byire cities liquidated nuclear weapons, yeah, it is nice to know we are not living under that fear day today at this time. withit comes to drones, this technology comes responsibility and big concerns. we are talking about weapon eyes drones. we have not touched on the level of sophistication with surveillance. drones flying over a city can hone in on telephone calls. night vision. all kinds of things that increase the government's ability to watch their own people. we have governments around the world that are hungry to use this tec

last year, john brennan gave a speech here in washington where he acknowledged it would be naive for washington and americans to assume that other world powers are not going to go forward in the years ahead and use drones for cross-border strikes on what they claim to be their own high value targets. that's somewhat unsettling if you look at the way this technology is proliferate the around the world in the last five or six years, particularly with the rise of high-tech chinese manufacturing and then american adversaries like iran getting a hold of the technology from that part of the world and advancing and also having shot down an american drone last year. host: certainly a big debate on capitol hill. let me ask you this. you write in your article 87 countries have possessed drones. is this a new arms race? guest: it's a little more complicated than the traditional cold war era race to get nuclear weapons by the soviet union and the united states. what's happening here, industry insiders and intelligence sources tell you this is a more like a computerized technology. it's not so mu

john brennan wrote a letter that the c.i.a.re asked to sign any new nondisclosure agreements -- >> that was a lie! >> it turns out they were asked to sign these things at the memorial service for two of the c.i.a.-affiliated guys who were killed in the attack. the survivors were then presented with new nondisclosure agreements that while they didn't mention benghazi, obviously were related to benghazi. i mean, their lawyer said they were related to benghazi. they were presented at the memorial service. these were benghazi survivors. they came back. the subject of the day was benghazi. it's strange to suggest that these didn't have anything to do with benghazi. >> right. so it's just amazing that they told the families when the bodies were at dover, it's about a video. everyone was talking about a video, when they knew instantly it was a military operation. recent poll reveals that the american people want to continue the investigation on benghazi by a toll of 65% yes. 31% no. we'll continue to do it. thanks, steven hayes. >> yo

not from john brennan who's in charge of the drug war and counterterrorism program, but from presidentma personally. president obama held that the interview had that the united states, which is a major funder of humans counterterrorism operation in the yemenis listen to, that the united gates is deeply concerned about reports that this individual is going to be released from prison and a dictator gehman rips up the pardon and he remained in prison because of the direct intervention of the nobel peace prize winning constitutional lawyer who said he was going to run the most transparent of minutes richeson history and be a friend to journalism. he kept by his intervention a yemeni journalist in prison for over a year more because of his direct intervention. when i called the white house and state department and spoke to the national security council spokespeople, i asked them to produce one shred of evidence that he had anything to do a terrorist that other than reporting on it. they would comment. they said they stand by their position and want them kept in prison. he remains there for
